She’s every man’s fantasy and every chick hates her, but they still want to be her and live her life.

Meet Lauren Wilcox, the original “Queen of The Lou.” She’s blessed with great beauty, phenomenal writing abilities, sex skills out of this world, and that platinum “good-good.” This is also her curse. She uses her body, her skills and her beauty to get what she wants and to ease her heart of stone which has been broken over and over again.

She meets her match in Gino, a love sick gangster. As they grow closer and their love becomes stronger, their past, their old enemies and their friends will do anything necessary, including murder, to keep them apart.

JoeyPinkney: Where did you get the inspiration to write The Show Me State?

Sherrod Tunstall: I got the inspiration to write The Show Me State after writing my debut novel, Spicy. I loved the bar scene I did with Lauren and Gino in Spicy. I just had to continue their sexual chemistry and give them their own story. Continue reading 5 Minutes, 5 Questions With… Sherrod Tunstall, author of The Show Me State →

Three friends. One agenda: get money…

Trina Bell, single mother of three, can’t seem to make ends meet working at a fast food restaurant. Mia Jackson, wife of a notorious incarcerated kingpin, is left fending for herself after the Feds confiscate money from their joint account. China Frasier’s recent divorce leaves her with a huge house but not enough money to take care of the monthly expenses.

Their financial woes bind these three friends together. Trina, Mia and China are determined to get money by any means necessary. But even the most perfect plan has its flaws.

Louisiana writer Kayenne, pronounced just like the pepper Cayenne, likes to write stories with passion. Kayenne’s ever-growing legion of fans know her for always adding that spicy sizzle to urban lit that keeps them coming back.

Quigley Castle, author of Camille’s Bi-Curious Birthday

Camille is turning the big three-O in just a few hours, and her three best friends ask her what she wants for her birthday. They are utterly shocked when Camille answers, “A threesome,” because as far as they’ve always known Camille was a square, a nerd, a geek and a goody-two-shoes all roll into one, little uptight petite package. Will Camille get her birthday wish?

Joey Pinkney: Where did you get the inspiration to write Camille’s Bi-Curious Birthday?

Quigley Castle: The inspiration came from a thought I had when I was watching “Orange is the New Black” on Netflix. I thought to myself, “What would a lesbian experience be like for me?” I’m positive that I’m heterosexual, but it was fun to think about what it would be like to be with a woman. Camille’s Bi-Curious Birthday is my idea of what it would be like to have a lesbian experience with my closest girlfriends.
